How to Pay for Indonesia eVisa
When applying via the official government portals (evisa.imigrasi.go.id or molina.imigrasi.go.id), the following payment methods are accepted:
- SIMPONI: Indonesia’s government payment gateway. Requires a SIMPONI virtual account, which can be paid through BNI, BCA, Mandiri, and other Indonesian banks.
- Mastercard: International credit and debit cards are accepted on the official portal.
- Visa Card: International Visa credit/debit cards.
- Virtual Account: Bank-specific virtual accounts for online payment.
Note: Some users report occasional issues with foreign cards on the government portal. If your card is declined, try a different card, clear browser cookies, or use a different browser.
Paying at the Airport (VOA Counter)
If you did not pre-purchase your eVOA online, you can pay at the Visa on Arrival counter at the airport. Accepted payment methods at the airport include:
- Cash in major currencies: USD, EUR, AUD, GBP, JPY, SGD (note: you may receive change in IDR)
- International credit/debit cards (Mastercard, Visa)
Airport payment typically adds 30-90 minutes of queue time. We recommend applying online before your flight. See our how to apply guide for the online process.
Are There Any Hidden Fees?
When applying through the official government portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id or molina.imigrasi.go.id), there are no hidden fees beyond the IDR 500,000 government fee plus any card processing charges from your bank.
Be aware of third-party visa agency websites that charge additional service fees ($10-50+). While these services are legitimate, they are not required – the official portal is straightforward to use.
